Based upon the photos, June has been a reasonably wet month, after a smoky end to May. The water helped with the carrots, that have finally come up!
The first of the radishes are ready to harvest and we have been baking with and freezing rhubarb. I plan to get the dehydrator out for the oregano, which has established itself on the south side of the house.
The rest oft he garden is growing pretty much on schedule. The potatoes came up in two groups (blue caribe and red sangre slightly later). The onions are also doing well, with only one cutworm so far.
We had both chickadees and robins nesting in the backyard this year, with both sets of young fledged and off now.
It looks this will be a good year for saskatoons, with both bushes loaded with little berries. The raspberries also came up after a slow start and the bees are busy in there.
Both apple trees had lots of blooms and I see enough tiny apples that we should be good for sauce this year.
We've also launched into iris season. The beds that we thinned out front are a bit sparse, but around the side we will get a nice set of blooms.
Other than one more sowing of lettuce, we're basically done with planting for the year. Hopefully we can start harvesting. It looks like some self-sown lettuce out back is also ready for this afternoon.
